We consider it necessary to find out whether this instrument will be appropriate to analyse their embedded vocabulary, since as far as we know, this experimental tool has not been used to analyse the written production of learners with such a low proficiency level.}, abstract = {En este trabajo pretendemos arrojar luz sobre la evaluación de la riqueza léxica de la producción escrita de aprendices de inglés como lengua extranjera en primaria a través de una herramienta informática como P_Lex (Meara & Bell, 2001).
